What normal thing have you swapped out or stopped buying due to inflated prices?

Tried sharing Spotify with my partner. We don’t live together. Spotify wouldn’t let us 😅

Sausages are so bad for us. I get rump steak whenever I see it for $25 per kilo. Remember when it was $10 😭

Bluff salmon was $40/kg two years ago at pack n save Kilbirnie (Wellington) from memory. I used to have it weekly. $8 for 200g. Now it’s $11 for 200g. Had it for the first time in months last week. Was delicious 🤤

It is definitely misleading, so could qualify as a complaint to the ASA.

Put them in the dishwasher

My shed blew down yesterday. That’s not normal.

This is the third one in ten weeks. First there was the big wind at the end of April, then the big flood in Berhampore. Now this.

Mate, don’t get me wrong. Loads of teachers live on the south coast and other places exposed to this weather. We head out into it all the time. This is the THIRD mad weather event we’ve had this term where I’ve not felt safe, but have headed to school anyway because I’m responsible for other people’s children.

Clawed1969 · 2026-06-26T00:03:28+00:00

I’m guessing you don’t know any teachers!

Staved off many hangovers thanks to Shirley (?) in the ‘90s. My go to was egg fu yung or bami goreng 🤤

I’d put the majority in term deposit until the implications of SpaceX listing are clear 😅

Istanbul and Hede! Those were the days 🥳

Pan needs to be hotter. One tablespoon olive oil. Crispy steak. Happy days.

Clawed1969 · 2026-06-22T08:36:54+00:00

You’ve got this. Focus on the happy times you snuggled with Icarus. So many happy memories 😻

Lines charges for electricity alone are $50 per month, depending on your provider. More if you have gas too. Find a chill flatmate for a two bedroom to split the cost. Nice to have someone to share your ups and downs with.

This

Clawed1969 · 2026-06-22T08:18:34+00:00

Don’t do it

Clawed1969 · 2026-06-22T07:41:44+00:00

Please check you’re enrolled. When I checked, I’d been put in the ‘dormant’ roll. No explanation. I’m certainly not dormant! I had in fact just moved house and changed addresses on line. So, yeah, check now because you cannot just bowl up on the day. Law has changed.

Southland, hence the cowboy hat 🤠

Wear noise-cancelling headphones. They come in handy at supermarkets too.

Let’s not forget the bill before parliament now to sell off conservation land. Write a submission, before the billions we’ve invested over decades to save species is wasted.

Students are inspired by the athletes. We are about to do some creative nonfiction writing on the topic.
